WTF goes on with this GAD system? now I know what your thinking "oh god it's another person complaining because he didn't win" well in a way your right. The thing is I wouldn't have minded loosing to another review, but when I spend all afternoon writing a review only to find im beaten by some guy who copied four cheats out of magazine, it kind of annoys me.

I'm not saying that my review should have won, but there where other good reviews submitted on the same day. Surely the GAD should have gone too someone who actually made some effort?

I know at the end of the day it's the judges decision who wins, but it really annoyed me. Anyway that's all have too say on the matter. I don't want to get known as amoaning git.

Ah, but perhaps you should also consider how much stuff SR are giving away to us, for free.

I wasn't complaining about not winning, it just pi$$ed me
off that there where a lot of good reviews that day that where completely ignored because some little scroat submitted 4 cheats out of a magazine.

I took the time as i'm sure a lot of people did, to try and write a decent review, when it actually turns out i'm more likely to win by copying some crap out of a computer magazine.

But anyway as you said your giving away free stuff, I shouldn't really be complaining. So I will stop annoying you and shutup.

That makes good sense Grix, i think the main reason that people leave is because they arent accepted into the "community", whether their leaving is a great loss or not is another matter though.

Lord of the flies and all that. I noticed the simularity between these forums and Platoon last night... not the horrors of being here, just the role of being accepted into a group.

DAve, my man, I wasn't even talking at you.
It's just the standard plea for quiet that gets issued every few weeks.
